If I understand correctly, MMS will be available on all iPhones once they are updated to iPhone OS 3.0. It was never a hardware issue.


Nope.

---- Engadget ----

11:27AM "What about the rest of us? iPhone OS 3.0 will be available this Summer. A free update to all of our iPhone 3G customers. And it works on the original iPhone. Now the hardware has changed between these two devices. For instance, A2DP and MMS won't be available on the iPhone 1st gen. It's also available for the iPod touch... for $9.95."

11:27AM - “As a bonus, we’ve enabled it to work on the original iPhone. The hardware’s changed though: MMS and A2DP won’t be available on the original iPhone.” iPod touch users: $10.

11:27AM - App Store will be in 77 countries. 3.0 ships this summer for free.


This sounds like bullshit to me: maybe I'm just naive, but I can't for the life of me figure out how a cell radio could be unable to transmit MMS. Especially the radio in a phone released after 2002.


Oops, I stand corrected. All the news I read skipped that part. But I too can't imagine how the original hardware would not be able to handle it...
